Define your own fields on purchase orders — delivery terms, packaging, compliance details — so the data you track against an order lives with the order instead of in a separate spreadsheet.
Settings → Configuration → Attributes has a Purchase Order sub-tab alongside Product and Supplier. Each attribute has a name, an optional category, and a value type: text, number, date, boolean, country, location or file. Marking one “show as default” makes it appear ready to fill on every order.
The purchase order page is built around a details panel and tabs. The panel carries the lot, type, supplier, quantity, trace status, dates and responsible buyer. The tabs are Purchase Order Lines, Attributes and Analytics — the last showing scan activity for that order by day, month or year.
The purchase order sync accepts attributes too, addressed by name. A feed without attribute columns leaves values entered by hand untouched, and a name that doesn't exist yet is created automatically as a text attribute.
Values attach to the whole purchase order rather than individual lines, with one value per attribute per order, and are not exposed to suppliers.
